Summary: media-gfx/blender KML/KMZ Import Command Injection Vulnerability
Keywords:  
Status Whiteboard: B2 [glsa] Executioner
Opened: 2007-03-01 17:01 0000
Description:   Opened: 2007-03-01 17:01 0000
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Blender, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to the insecure use of the "eval()" function in
kmz_ImportWithMesh.py. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary Python
commands by tricking a user into importing a specially crafted "*.kml" or
"*.kmz" file.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.42a. Prior versions may also be
affected.

Solution:
Update to version 2.43, which no longer includes the affected script.


Reproducible: Didn't try

blender-2.43 is broken (see Bug 167694); not really a solution.

graphics team please advise. If it's such a mess, then we'll have to mask it.
It's  about code injection, it's serious.

I still need somebody with amd64 to test the ebuild. the ebuild is in portage
but masked because of that.
